My ATI x850 XT PE AGP gets way too hot while playing games like World of Warcraft and FEAR ... it often locks up my computer. So often times I take the side panel off my case with always remedies the problem.

I was reading reviews on the Arctic silencer 5 rev. 2 ... what are your thoughts on this product? do you think it'll help keep my card cooler?

To be honest I was thinking of buying AS5 for my X800XL.After I have read articles on GPU cooling I chose Zalman VF700-Cu. And I am very happy.I change my stock cooler ( but together with my PC case) and I got 40!!! degrees celsius down on my X800XL. Now it is 27-29 idle and 39-45 GPU burn. May be you will not get such low degrees, but I will recommend Zalman VF700-Cu.
